        apparel goods classifiable as goods put up in sets for retail 
        sale as provided for in General Rule of Interpretation 3 of the 
        HTS shall not be considered to be originating goods unless each 
        of the goods in the set is an originating good or the total

                            (i) the import relief continues to be 
                        necessary to remedy or prevent serious injury

                domestic industry to import competition and whether 
                there is evidence that the industry is making a 
                positive adjustment to import competition.
                    (ii) The Commission shall publish notice of the 
                commencement of any proceeding under this subparagraph

        imported article.
            (2) Serious damage.--In making a determination under

                    (B) shall not consider changes in technology or 
                consumer preference as factors supporting a

                thereof.
    (b) Provision of Relief.--
            (1) In general.--If a determination under subsection (a) is 
        affirmative, the President may provide relief from imports of 
        the article that is the subject of such determination, as 
        described in paragraph (2), to the extent that the President 
        determines necessary to remedy or prevent the serious damage 
        and to facilitate adjustment by the domestic industry to import 
        competition.
            (2) Nature of relief.--The relief that the President is 
        authorized to provide under this subsection with respect to 
        imports of an article is an increase in the rate of duty

                    (A) the column 1 general rate of duty imposed under 
                the HTS on like articles at the time the import relief 
                is provided; or
                    (B) the column 1 general rate of duty imposed under 
                the HTS on like articles on the day before the date on

                    (A) the import relief continues to be necessary to 
                remedy or prevent serious damage and to facilitate 
                adjustment by the domestic industry to import 
                competition; and
                    (B) there is evidence that the industry is making a
